With Clint Eastwood, Drew Barrymore, Sigourney Weaver, and Jack Black in town this is a great time to be an actor in Michigan.  If you want to act but don’t where to start this weekend workshop was designed for you. Even if you have experience and want to re-connect to the work, you’ll love this weekend. Not an actor? This class will help you become a more confident and charismatic individual in your everyday personal and professional life.  This safe, fun, foundational class will set your imagination in motion while teaching you techniques to help overcome stage fright and self-consciousness.

Government tax incentives to the film industry opened the floodgates and numerous high profile projects have selected Michigan as the location to shoot their movie or television show with more to come.  The Bootcamp For New Actors was created by Rich Goteri and Rachel Bellack of The Improv Advantage and takes place over a full weekend –starting on Friday September 12 and ending on Sunday September 14.  “There is a need for local actors who know how to present themselves professionally and know their way around a stage or film set.” Says Rachel Bellack.  Rich Goteri adds “Just last week 300 people signed up to be extras for a film being shot locally.  This shows that a lot of people are interested and simply may not know how to get started.” For more info and where to register go to www.theimprovadvantage.com
